Mr. Hatch, from the committeo on Banks and Uie Currency, reported buck tho bill of the Senato to regulate Banking in Ohio, witii sundry amendments, which were agreed to. 1 ho question being on ordering the bill to a Uiird reading, Mr. Fuller said ho believed Uie people of Ohio ex pected Uiat some measure would be perfected at Uie present session of tho Legislature tor Ute improvement of the currency, but in his opinion the bill tiicn before Uiem was not such a measure. Tho committee on Banks and tho Currency had been instructed to report a bill for tho establishment of a Stuto Bank, and ho believed such an institution would meet the wiuhes of a majority of the people of the State. He thought the present bill should rcceivo no final action, until Uiat committee made thoir report, and with Unit object, he moved Uiat it bo laid on Uie table, which was not agreed to. The bill was then ordered to bo engrossed by Uio following vote : Ykas Ml-ssm. Atkinson, Bnird, Brif?, Hyinginn, Cahill, Dumi.tinvii, (irillilh, Murdi, ll-iik-ritnii, Itorkiiitx-rv. Jaini, Jrnkun.

Mr. Powell introduced a resolution for allowing tho Clerks of tho United States Circuit and HisUict Courts, to draw books from Uie State Library, which was disagreed to. The report of Uio minority of Uie committeo on Public Works was taken up, and referred to Uie committee on Finance. Hilts introduced and rend the first time, By Mr. McNulty, to divorce Julia J.

Mcnuity asked leivo to introduce amnio amend an act naMtcd at tho present session of Uio (ieueral Assembly, to incorporate Uio Woodland Cemetry Association oi Dayton. Tho ohtect ot Uie bill is to render the corpo rators individually liable for Uie debts of Uie corporation. An amendment of tiiis description wna made by the Senate to tho original bill, disugrecd to by the House, and subsequently receded from by the senate. J Mr. Schenck objected to tho introduction of Uie bill and demanded the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and leave was granted yeas 3-1, nays 30. The bill for incorporating religious socieucs under a general law on certain conditions, was taken up, Uio question being on agreeing to certain amendments rc)ortcd by tho Judiciary committee. After some discussion by Messrs. Meredith, Jenkins and Byington, Tho House, witiiout taking any action, took a recess. 24 oVodt, P. M. The question being on agreeing to tho amendment pmpoHed to bo substituted after striking nut all after Uie enacting clause of Uie bill to incorporate religious societies under a general law, Mr. Powell addressed tiie House at somo length, and thought much would bo gained if a bill of this description could be so framed as to moot the approbation of the House, and accomplish tho object sought to bo obtained by its operation. Ho could not however assent to that part of Uio amendment which made each individual member ot a church, liable tor Uie debts contracted by the corporation. Such a provision would, in his opinion, give rise to special legislation.Mr. Jenkins said he was not surprised tn see oppo sition made to such a prevision. Ho was in favor of individual liability in this particular case, and in all otimr cases when applied to corporations. Mr. Hatch moved to amend the amendment, by striking out Uiat part making all Uie members of a church individually liable for Uie debts of the cor poration, and inserting a provision making Uie trus tees liable for all debts contracted by .tiiein in tho name ol Uio corporation. The question was Uicn taken on sinking out and carried. The question Uicn turning ou agreeing to Uie amendment Mr. Schenck opposed tho amendment The trus tee sought to bo made liable, were Uie agents of a corporation organized not for Uie purpose of making money, but with tho object of conferring benefits upon the public, and in his opinion Uiey could not be held liable tor Uio debts ot Uio corporation, with any mora propriety Uian township trustees, county commisaion- era, or the members of a town council coald be hold individually liablo for their acts as public aifents. Air. nitaldinff replied to Air. b-and advocated Uio amendment Mr. Kelly of C- said ho supposed the bill had been introduced for Uio purpose of saving time, hut he Uiouirht more would bo consumed in debatinor it than would be spent in disposing ot the church bills on the tables. Ho also questioned the constitutionality of a general law of tiiis description and doubted whethor the Supreme Court would rocoirmxo corno rations established undor it Mr. K. moved that Uie whole subject bo indefinitely postponed, which was lost The amendment of Mr. Hatch was Uicn agreed tn. Mr. Byington moved another amendment, providing Uiat in caso such trustees shall prove insolvent Uio private property of each member shall be holden for Ute payment ot Uie debts ot Uio corporation j which was IOBL Some flirt her remarks wore made by Messrs. Ful ler, Powell and Taylor, when tho bill was ordered to a third reading. The chair presented totitt House Uie Annua) Re port of the Auditor of State, on Uie Finances, which was laid on the table. After considering sundry bills in committee of tho wnoio, Tho House adjourned. TlIl'ltNOAY MOBNIN, Fefcrwry 94, 1H4'J. THE ADJOURNMENT. What has become of tho resolution of aitjournincnt, which pasted the Senate some two weeks since and was sent down to die House for concurrence T The course which Uie party leaders have taken on this subject was truly predicted by us. We slated thai thoy had no intention of adjourning at an early my Uiat Ityinglon, WcINuliy, Hpatding, Jayior, vvalion, Bardcy and oUters tho chiefs of the party die embryo talesmen of Ohio, ( Heaven save the mark 1 ) were doing; better and perfecting more money, at three dollars a day, than Ihey would make at home, and that consequently they would prolong the session for the usual period, although they were acromuluhme no business for the public benefit. The Gov ernor of Columbiana, two or diree weeks since, profiled great teal in favor of adjournment, but he has been quietly smoking his pipe in die corner ever since. Vt hen the question was agitated, Bartley and others in die Scoalo voted for the 21st of February neit. That day has passed and dicrc is just as much business on the tables now as there was then, and so (here would be if they remained here till die fourth of July, Thou the 2t)th next Monday was talked of, and finally the 7lh of March, a day then more lhan three weeks distant, was fixed upon, but the cunning leaders have managed to put the rcsolutiou out to nurse, and now wo have no doulrt (hat when it is reported bark, it will Iw amended so as lo adjourn on the 14th or 21 it of March, and perhaps even later. Il is thus Uiat these Icrrihlo " reformers " are paltering with tho wishes of tho people, and betraying the confluence which they have so unworthily acquired. THE CONVENTION. The Statesman says that 805 persons joined die procession on Tuesday, We understand this calculation hi made by a manlier of the Board of Public Works, whose anuous countenance we saw peering among die crowd, wearing a mixed expression of wonder and anxiety. Wo venture lo observe thai ii is as nearly accurate as some of bis estimates iihji the canals, whrih have cost die Slate two or three limes as much as they were put down at originally. He has become badly habituated lo under estimates. THE STATE'S PRISON MONOPOLY AND THE TAItlFF. We are glad lo see our Mechanics employing their influence lo stimulate die Legislature to some elVicicnt reform in Htute Prison matters. The Monopolies established in the Penitentiary, owe dicir origin and continuance chiefly to the Loco Focos, and it is but simple justice that the parly should bo compelled to undo what they have so unwicly done. We irusl, therefore, thai our Mechanics will not rest satisfied until ihey have succeeded in ac coniphDhing their objects. But desirable as is amendment and reform in this rcipcct, we hope all classes will Iki able to appreciate tho injurious consequences of a far more extended and powerful system of (Kihry which paralyzes the industry and retards the prosperity of the country, and which must continue lo do so, though the Penitentiary monopoly were ten limes removed we menu the mmutpohj and competition of Fo reten labor and cnpitttl. Every argument and reason thai can be urged against tho employment of Htnte Prison lubor, applies widi rquul justice against the patronage of llw laW of foreign States. The principle is precisely the same. If it bo not good policy lo destroy our Mechanics by building up the Slate Prison monopoly, il certainly can be no better lo go out of the country alter any thing thai can be produced within il. Wc shall find few ililTenng from us on this point. I he Htnle Prison con tractor will contend that lie can furnish his wares thmjyr In than they can be made outside tho prison walls. The im- fting merchant will tell us the same story. The contractor and the importer will grow rich as long as ilii-y can make us believe iu their doctrine, whilst the mechanic anil native artisan ill feci themselves more and more impoverished, This view of an important question is of such ensy and fa miliar illustration, that its weight cannot be denied. Lot us get rid of budi evils al die same time. CONFUSION OF IDEAS. Moral obliquity, or the tola! ileslilulion of principle, produ ces lliut mental disorder, or affection of ihe brain, known by die appellation of " confusion of ideas," lo a Iniucninblc de gree in the mind of the editor of die Statesman. Hpcaking of Iho passage of the bill through the House, lo rcjicul the rharler of die Columbus and tiunduky Turnpike Company, the Hlnleitman asks: "Iul not the people along this road, without distinction of party, petition for its repeal T Is die Journal opposed to the sacred right of petition ( " This is a genuine Kangaroo leap. Tito H talesman has suddenly bo-come a convert lo the right of petition, and like most new converts, goes far beyond the standard set up by iho original founders of die seel. Thu right of petition, in his judgment, seems to involve die obligation lo grant what is a-du-d for. Suppose a petition should be got up, praying the Leginlalure pull uowu pii.hovseor consign mm 10 wo rcnuennary, should die Legislature grant il f Bui says Ihe Statesman : " It is a pretty doctrine In preach a free and intullignrt people 1hwt Incir representative can make bud and oppressive laws and cannot n)cal tliem." (itinera! laws may be repealed at llie pleasure of the law-making power. Bui when the Legislature makes a bargain, or contract, it must be bound by it. The Legiilalure agreed with ihire-holders of the Columbus and Handiuky lurnpike Coniany thai if diey would coiisimrt and keep in good re pair, a road from one place to die other, they should enjoy die ght of collecting certain rales of lolls from all who chose to travel upon it. If the LcgMuturc has made a bad bargain. there U but one mode of getting rid of its obligations, and dial would lc to prevail upon the oilier contracting party to surrender their privileges. If it lie alleged thai die corporators to uot fulfil the condition!) mto which they ontcrcd, the law points out die remrdyilo your bill of quo warranto, and bring die matter to a test. If you establish the Incl, then die court will adjuilge (hat ihey have Justly forfeited their nchts, and there will be none lo romplain. But for the IjCgiilnture lo inveigle a few public spirited individuals into the undertak ing of an improvement of this character, and nher ihey have ipeiided 5li0,000 upon it, to atimd the contract ami strip them of the property thus acquired we say it is au act of gross injustice and usurpation in itself, awl one that would in grace the bond-repudiating titato of Mississippi, Bui il is a waste of lime to argue so plain a principle with man who is incapable of conceiving or eipreuing a clear ilea on tny subject. The muddy stream which oozes front his distorted and feculent brain is an inherent vice, bard to be enuured and worse lo bo cured. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. Father Ritchie advocates the proposition toeilend to the Hanks of Virginia, a longer period of mm moitthi, in which to prrpare fur resumption. In I Hiio, just twice nine dutfi was the utmost respite the same oliticians could he persuaded lo grant ihcse institutions. In Virginia some regard is hud to the ronscquences of ihe measure Uon the business of Ihe com munityhere not even the business of the community is per muted to stand in the wny of the destruction of the Banks, ut both are lo be siiuck ikmn by Die same blow. DISUNION. A leading tnrmher of the present Loco Foco party, and oiM who in the House of Representatives participated in the scheme of trying Mr. Adams as a traitor lo the Uniim, ei-pressed the following language at a Slate Convention in iho Kntlm of South Carollua, m IU3J. lite speaker was Mr, Rhrtt. "Once, indeed, my pulso beat high for Uiis Union.

" Botphobia " is now the prevailing malady in our city, and our clerks and milliners sudor under a very malignant type of it It broke out immediately ancr the landing of the Literary Lion al Boston, and raged moderately but progressively as accounts reached us of his feasting and speech-making at Boston, Hariford and New Haven. Al length the enchuoler reached oar city last Saturday, and then it assumed a more virulent character, raging, and rising up to 8 o'clock last evening, when it was at its crisis. Il was the opening hour of die great " Box Ball." Tho Kelo of the Fashionables was developing itself. The Park Theatre was the chosen temple of this homage tickets only JA cheap as dirt, you see but then die great demand for them had tempted themaimgers-behind-ilie-manogers lo increase the issue, as the price rose to $ 10, and evea $00, so that at 9 o'clock, when Box entered, instead of the stipulated number of 2,200, there were full 4,000 persons in the house I II was full lnve and bo-low, from pit to gallery, and dancing was virtually out of the question. The marshals I mean managers by grcal exertion made room to crowd thu Lion into die middle of the floor, where Phil. Hone made a trashy ieech, concluding with a cull for three chtertt Think of Uiat al a Ball, where the Beauty, Fashion and Intellect of New York were supposed to be convened t I am happy lo say that but very few obeyed the edict. Mayor Morris, Cot. O. P. Morris of the Mirror, who generally contrives to opernte as wet nurse to all the Foreign Literati who favor us with dieir presence, and C. D. Cnldvn, were die masters of ceremonies, but the rush prevented nearly all dancing, and every thing else but squeezing, I .allies had ibeir bouquets, decorations, and ta bracelets, stripped from diera like leaves in an October tempest. A space was for a lime cleared for dancing about the size of a small pigpen, and cotillions and wnltzes were pcrformrd, but lo littlu purpose. At 10 o'clock the supper room was thrown open-and instantly packed lo its utmost capacity by thoe who were wailing at die door, leaving the press in Iho Suborn as great ns ever. The supvr would have been good had there been any chance to eat it ; as it was, there was a profusion of choice eatables, but no way lo get at them, and slewed oysters, Charlotte Kusse, anil lemonade, were spilled over span-new coats and costly female dresses in generous impartiality. Tho cost of tickets for this Ball must have reached g 10,000, of which at least half went into somebody's pockets, but die dresses spoiled were worth twice as much, and that loss has done no good lo any one, I hoc the tailors and milliners have received some indirect benefit, however. " Boi " complained of being faint and sick no wonder in surh an atmosphere and went home before midnight. His manner is severely criticised by some I presume unjustly. He is a frank, confident, good fellow, of intense mm-chiilance. whnl you may call " London Aurance!

Previous to Uie election, Ohio Stocks were worth over ninety cents for oach dollar issued. Whence Uiis mortify ing depreciation of Uie credit of Uie State? The lecline is equal to 25 per cent, upon a debt say of 16,000,000 of dollars from which may be deduced a sacrifice of FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! This disastrous blow to Uio credit of Uie Stato, is to bo traced entirely to the return of a majority of Loco Foco destructives to Uie two branches of the General Assembly. But Uiis loss of credit abroad is only single item in Uie catalogue of evil consequences which Uie people of Ohio have incurred by restoring1 ic Bourbons to power. Lvery interest at home has suffered in an equal proportion. Two millions and a half of currency havo been depreciated one half in value in the hands of Uio poo pi o over nve millions of dollars vested by Uie people of other States in Uie banking institutions of tins State, are to be driven out of it exchange in New York is 17 per cent against us Uio last million of the three or four mil- ona of specie held in the State two or throe years Hinco, is to be carried off on tho 4th of March our public works, which have cost sixteen or seventeen millions are incomplete, hecause we have sacrificed our credit, and1 nobody will trust us a million or two nioro to finish Uiem bank after bank is crumbling into dust and ruin, distress, bankruptcy and dig-graco stare us in the faco on every side. This ii a true picture of Uie present condition of I Uie State, and would lose in vividness by any attempt at embellishment What has produced it? The election of a Loco Foco Legislature there-ascendency of Loco Foco councils the defeat of Uio Whig party, and the measures to which that party is pledged. Some portion of Uie fault lies at Washington, and Uie prosperity of tho country cannot bo fully revived, without a radical change tiiere. But reform must begin at home, and much may be done here to ward off Uio consequences of mis-govern- ment elsewhere. The pooplo must givo up all idea of bettor times, until tlicy will learn sometiiing from the lessons of the pant, and can make up their minds to wiUidraw Uieir confidence wholly from Uio quack financiers and pretenders of Uio lxco Foco party. Severely have Uie people of Uiis State been punish ed for sending such men to Uio Legislature as Ity- ington, McNulty, Jenkins, Taylor &. Co. men, (mere shadows of men!) totally destituto of any qtmhhci tions whatever for tho places they hold, and wanting even in the negativo projierty of being disposed to follow tho good advice and suggestions of otiicrs, whmo abilities and oxerience ought to command their implicit respect But theso men, without character, without a stake in the country, without hones ty, without the inclination to shape their course witii reference to Uie public good, are sent up here to control Uie legislation for Uio interests of a million and a half of people. Tlicro is no law of our physical natures that can bo violated with impunity, and Uio siuio rule holds with equal force in moral?. If i we thrust a hand or foot into the fire, pain and disa bility aro the inevitable consequences. If wo open our veins, the lifn-currcnt flows out apace. If we bow tares, no yellow harvest fills our granaries. If Uie people confide in mdiculs, jacobins and incendi aries to do their legislation, they must not expect to have it dmio wisely or well. If they continuo to pension a corrupt press upon the public treasury at Uie rate of twenty Uiousund dollars a year, to dis seminate false doctrine throughout the land, they must calculate to pay an additional forfeit of millions in Uie depreciation of Uio prices of products and property. If Uiey persist in carry ing on an insane war against their own banking institutions and cur- rrncy, Uiey need not be disappointed if tiie Aral are cruhed and Uie other is destroyed. There is noUiing to wonder at in Uie depreciation of Uie credit of Uie State. We need not be surprised, that a State with a tax list of more than three hundred millions of dollars, is unable to obtain means sufficient to complete a canal, which would open a new navigation of Uirce or four hundred miles, and return an ample interest for Uie whole cost, when if wo had Uie funds, tho whole work might be finished in six months. We ought not to bo alarmed by Uio failures of banks and the general distress which pervades Uio community. All this was foreseen and foretold, if Uie people should again put Uieir trust in Ijoco Focoism, The evils which we labor under are Uie legitimate fruits of Uiat misplaced confidence, and unless a permanent change can be effected, Uiey will be penictuated. 1 he reforms now necessary cannot bo perfected in one year. The disorders which havo prostrated the vigor of tiie system, cannot bo eradicated by Uie ascendency of the Whig party at a single election. We have got to lay a new foundation, and build carefully upon it, without changing cither overseers or workmen. These aro trutiis so plain, Uiat he who runs may read. We have Uio satisfaction to bctiovo Uiat they are gradually impressing Uiemselvea upon the public mi ml The delusions which havo bo long beclouded and befogged Uie people, are yielding to the trots of experience. Wo hear of many persons in different parts of Uio State, who confess themselves convinced Uiat in supporting Ijoco Foco candidates and measures, they have only been plunging Uie State into deeper embarrassment. They havo resolved to go upon tho other track. Tho one thoy havo pursued so Ion;;, has only led to ruin. MK'HHiAN.

Mr. Cushing, from Uie select committee in tiie House of Representatives, who have had in charge Uie President's plan of an Exchequer or Government Bonk, have submitted a report accompanied by a bill on the subject The report and bill ore too long to be copied into our paper, in the present crowded state of our columns, and we aro compelled to content ourselves witii an insertion of the following abstract of their recommendations and provisions, taken from Uie Baltimore American. Two or more additional reports and schemes are promised from otiier members of Uie committee. MR. CUSIIING'S EXCHEQUER BILL. The Bill reuortcd bv Mr. Cushinr from Uie Select Committeo on Uie Currency in the House of Representatives will be found in another part of Uiis mornings paper. It differs in some points from Uie Bill submitted by tho Secretary of Uio Treasury at Ute beginning of Uie Session. instead of issuing Treasury Notes to public cre ditors, as recommended by the Secretary's Bill, to an amount not exceeding fifteen millions, Uie Committee's Bill proposes Uie issuing of certificates of dtpo- site. We have here different names only for the same thing. The amount, however, is limited to ten millions by Uie new bill, and it further declares tuii the Board and each of its seveiid agencies shall at all times so limit the amount of ccrtiftatles thus issued tlutt its fcotd and silver on hand shall be equal to Ute amount thereof outstanding. i he tilth section, providing tor Uie issue ot certificates of deposito for specie deposited by individu als, is the same in substance as Uie fifth section of tiie ircasury Bill with Uie exception Uiat it limits the amount of such issues to ten millions instead cf fifteen, and it says nothing about a premium of one naif ot ono per cent to be inm by uie depositor. Thorn is nothing in Uie first bill authorising Uie Mint and branch Mints to issue certificates of depo sito for bullion or foreign coin deposited by individuals or by the Government Tho seventh section au- Uiorizes Uiis. The ninth section of the present bill, authorizing Uie drawing of hills or draft, is the same, word for word, as tho tenth section of the original bill excepting Uio additional proviso in the section, which is of no consequence as it merely stipulates a tiling of course. The tenth section of Mr. CusmNo'sbill authorizes Uio Board and its agent to purchase bills of exchange only when ordered so to do by tiie Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of traiumiittiiig tiie public funds of tiie Government to pay its creditors or for public use. The authority is prohibited for any other purpose. This is di lie rent from the provisions of the first bill in Uiis particular; and it is one of the most important points of difference between tho two. As to Uie modes of getting Uie Exchequer paper into circulation, Uie two projects aro essentially alike. These modes are first, by the issue of Treasury notes, as tiicj are called in one bill, or certificates of deceit, as they are styled in the other, to be paid to public creditors; secondly, by tho sole of bills or drafts as authorized in the ninth section of Mr. CusHi.io'a bill; thirdly, by the issue of certificates of deposito to individuals for specio deposited. Wherein, Uicn, are tho points in which the new bill differs from Uie other? There aro two of essential moment Tho proviso declaring that Uio issues to public creditors shall not go beyond Uio gold and silver in hand virtually reduces tho Exchequer system to a Sub-Treasury. Tho essential idea of Uie lutter is here distinctly recognized. The clause in Uio eleventh section which directs that Uie notes of the banks received in payment of dues to Uio United States "shall be immediately convertible into specie at the place where received," poinls significantly the same way. The limitation of the power of purchasing bills of exchange, as specified in the tenth section, tends still further to bring tiie Exchequer into tiie shape and likeness of Uio Sub-Treasury. The aid to be afforded for Uie equalization of exchanges is to he incidental and to extend no farther than Uie sphere of tho government's fiscal ojverations. Tho truth is that Mr. Cvsinrfu's bill, in every particular wherein it varies from Uie original scheme as submitted from the Treasury Department, inclines towards Uie Sub-Treasury aj stem. Thus, at least, it appears to us from Uie limited examination we have been able to give it Yet it wants Uie unity of that system; for it is mongrel enough to admit a section declaring Umt no agency established in any State under tiie provisions of Uio act shall, contrary to any law which such Suite may enact receive any other deiwsites Uian those of tiie United Stab, or make or sell drafts, or purchase bills other Uian such ns shall be necessary in Uie collection, transfer, and disbursement of tho public funds. The Report accompanying the Bill is written with ability but it is too long fur publication to-day. 1 It recapitulates the chief incidents in Uio financial history of Uio United State, and refers to tho circumstances under which tho National Bank and a Sub-Trensurv, at different periods came into existence. The rixchequcr is designed to be a system uniting tiie advantages and excluding Uio evils of Doin precedent systems. The clause in tiie Constitution forbidding the States to issue bills of credit and Uio practice of Uie States in chartering institutions which do issue bills of credit in the shape of bank notes Uio constitutional prohibition against tiio coining of money by tiie States or individuals, and Uio practico by Uie States and by individuals of uttering Uiat which takes Uie place of money and circulates as money tiicso w ith other things going tn Uie bottom of Uie subject are touched umii in Uie Report and it can not be denied, that Uiey are treated with ability. We shall refer to these matters again. For IJm Ohio Hints Jiiurnal.

By Eleazar Parhlt. s - A very distino-uished practitioner of the city of New York, and a gentleman whose sagacity and In tegrity are bo well established in Uiis community as to place Uiem above suspicion, called upon me in June last with two ladies one a married lady of Uiis city, ot uie nighesr respectability, whom l nave , known for many yearn, the other a young lady in delicate health, who appeared to be suffering very aovere- ivwiui wiui pain in one oi ncrieein. un examining tiie tooth I fuund the only means of giving her relief was extraction. On hearing Uiis Uie young lady de clared that she could not enduro Uie operation. Being very much occupied in another room I left Uie Doctor with the ladies, conversing together in relation to the propriety of submitting to Uie operation of extracting Uie tooth, considering Uie state of her health, ho having remarked to them that if she (tho young lady) would sutler herself to be put into tiie Magnetic sleep Uie tootli might be removed without luin. After an absence from Uie room of about fifteen minutes, I returned at Uie Doctor's request, and found his patient to all appear a nco in a profound sluinbert which ho called Uie Magnetic sleep. He then requested me to proceed to tiie extracUon of the tooth, which was Uie first molar on Uie left Bide ot Uie lower jaw. As tiie young lady was sitting erect in Uie operation chair, and therefore as her head was not reclining upon the chair, as was desirable in order to perform tiie operation conveniently, 1 made an effort to place it there by pressing my hand against her forehead, but when I removed my hand she seemed unconsciously to resume her former position. The I lector thereupon said to me "You can do nothing with her without my intervention whilo she is in this state, but w hatever you desire her to do if you will inform me, I will direct her accordingly." I remarked Unit all I wished her to do wbs to lay ' her head back upon Uie cushion ofthc chair and open her moutli, which she immediately did by his diiec-tion. I thereupon extracted the tooth which required as much force as such teeth usually do, it being per fectly firm in its socket with slightly curved fangi rendering it an operation unavoidably painful to & person awake. During tiie operation I could discover no change in her features or expression of her face, nor any motion either voluntary or involuntary in any part of hor frame indicative of pain. Although I addressed several questions to her while in Uiis sleep I could obtain no answer from ht r until Uie Doctor put mc in communication wiUi hft. to ue his own terms. She then conversed freely i nd intelligently with me for several minutes, and stated. among othei things, on my inquiring of her, "Uiat she had not felt the slightest pain, and knew thatsho had lost a tooth only by finding a vacancy in her mouth." After being in this state of somnolency for about an hour the Doctor awoke her, whereupon she seemed to be very much refreshed; and when I again asked her if she had any recollection of pain during her sleep, she replied that she had not. 1 uicn asked her what she did recollect concerning her tooth; to which she replied "that she remembered only that I had remarked when she enme into the room that I could neither stop Uie tooth nor destroy the nerve, but that it must be extracted." Then she reiterated MUiat she only knew that she had Inat Uie tooth by finding the vacancy." 1 make this statement of facts, which occurred just as I have related them; and without knowing any thing oi uie science oi Mesmerism, or ot Uie manipulations by which this crisis is produced. I am persuaded tiiere was no trickery or imposition in Uie case in question, not merely from Uie respectability of tiie parties interested and Uie high standing and veracity ol Uie physician, but from uie unequivocal circumstances attending the transaction. Since writing Uie above statement 1 have within Uie last few days performed Uie operation again, in tho presence of several individuals, with precisely Uie same results, continuing and establishing in my own mind in Uie most positive manner the truth and power ot the extraordinary and wondenul influence of Animal Magnetism.

New York, Feb. 11th, m Mesmerism, It appears, is likely to be extremely serviceable to dentists, if not to other operators on tht human frame, Mr. Uardiner ot Roche lourt, Hants, has addressed a letter to Uie Hampshire Standard, in which he states, that "having been interrupted in Uie course of certain Mesmeric experimentally a violent toothache in ono of Uie patients, (whom I had exhibited to Drs, EUiotson and Engledue) it occurred to me that the insensibility which is an invariably concomitant of tiie true sleep-walking state would alturu mo an aomiraoie opportunity oi benefitting tiie sufferer, and of extending Uie application of Mesmerism.

He came. In two minutes, tiio patient (a young lady) was in Uie perfect Mesmeric trance, and thrrelore insensible. Air.

Mr. Hatch, from the committeo on Banks and Uie Currency, reported buck tho bill of the Senato to regulate Banking in Ohio, witii sundry amendments, which were agreed to. 1 ho question being on ordering the bill to a Uiird reading, Mr. Fuller said ho believed Uie people of Ohio ex pected Uiat some measure would be perfected at Uie present session of tho Legislature tor Ute improvement of the currency, but in his opinion the bill tiicn before Uiem was not such a measure. Tho committee on Banks and tho Currency had been instructed to report a bill for tho establishment of a Stuto Bank, and ho believed such an institution would meet the wiuhes of a majority of the people of the State. He thought the present bill should rcceivo no final action, until Uiat committee made thoir report, and with Unit object, he moved Uiat it bo laid on Uie table, which was not agreed to.

Mcnuity asked leivo to introduce amnio amend an act naMtcd at tho present session of Uio (ieueral Assembly, to incorporate Uio Woodland Cemetry Association oi Dayton. Tho ohtect ot Uie bill is to render the corpo rators individually liable for Uie debts of Uie corporation. An amendment of tiiis description wna made by the Senate to tho original bill, disugrecd to by the House, and subsequently receded from by the senate. J Mr. Schenck objected to tho introduction of Uie bill and demanded the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and leave was granted yeas 3-1, nays 30. The bill for incorporating religious socieucs under a general law on certain conditions, was taken up, Uio question being on agreeing to certain amendments rc)ortcd by tho Judiciary committee. After some discussion by Messrs. Meredith, Jenkins and Byington, Tho House, witiiout taking any action, took a recess. 24 oVodt, P. M. The question being on agreeing to tho amendment pmpoHed to bo substituted after striking nut all after Uie enacting clause of Uie bill to incorporate religious societies under a general law, Mr. Powell addressed tiie House at somo length, and thought much would bo gained if a bill of this description could be so framed as to moot the approbation of the House, and accomplish tho object sought to bo obtained by its operation. Ho could not however assent to that part of Uio amendment which made each individual member ot a church, liable tor Uie debts contracted by the corporation. Such a provision would, in his opinion, give rise to special legislation.Mr. Jenkins said he was not surprised tn see oppo sition made to such a prevision. Ho was in favor of individual liability in this particular case, and in all otimr cases when applied to corporations. Mr. Hatch moved to amend the amendment, by striking out Uiat part making all Uie members of a church individually liable for Uie debts of the cor poration, and inserting a provision making Uie trus tees liable for all debts contracted by .tiiein in tho name ol Uio corporation. The question was Uicn taken on sinking out and carried. The question Uicn turning ou agreeing to Uie amendment Mr. Schenck opposed tho amendment The trus tee sought to bo made liable, were Uie agents of a corporation organized not for Uie purpose of making money, but with tho object of conferring benefits upon the public, and in his opinion Uiey could not be held liable tor Uio debts ot Uio corporation, with any mora propriety Uian township trustees, county commisaion- era, or the members of a town council coald be hold individually liablo for their acts as public aifents. Air. nitaldinff replied to Air. b-and advocated Uio amendment Mr. Kelly of C- said ho supposed the bill had been introduced for Uio purpose of saving time, hut he Uiouirht more would bo consumed in debatinor it than would be spent in disposing ot the church bills on the tables. Ho also questioned the constitutionality of a general law of tiiis description and doubted whethor the Supreme Court would rocoirmxo corno rations established undor it Mr. K. moved that Uie whole subject bo indefinitely postponed, which was lost The amendment of Mr. Hatch was Uicn agreed tn. Mr. Byington moved another amendment, providing Uiat in caso such trustees shall prove insolvent Uio private property of each member shall be holden for Ute payment ot Uie debts ot Uio corporation j which was IOBL Some flirt her remarks wore made by Messrs. Ful ler, Powell and Taylor, when tho bill was ordered to a third reading. The chair presented totitt House Uie Annua) Re port of the Auditor of State, on Uie Finances, which was laid on the table. After considering sundry bills in committee of tho wnoio, Tho House adjourned. TlIl'ltNOAY MOBNIN, Fefcrwry 94, 1H4'J. THE ADJOURNMENT. What has become of tho resolution of aitjournincnt, which pasted the Senate some two weeks since and was sent down to die House for concurrence T The course which Uie party leaders have taken on this subject was truly predicted by us. We slated thai thoy had no intention of adjourning at an early my Uiat Ityinglon, WcINuliy, Hpatding, Jayior, vvalion, Bardcy and oUters tho chiefs of the party die embryo talesmen of Ohio, ( Heaven save the mark 1 ) were doing; better and perfecting more money, at three dollars a day, than Ihey would make at home, and that consequently they would prolong the session for the usual period, although they were acromuluhme no business for the public benefit. The Gov ernor of Columbiana, two or diree weeks since, profiled great teal in favor of adjournment, but he has been quietly smoking his pipe in die corner ever since. Vt hen the question was agitated, Bartley and others in die Scoalo voted for the 21st of February neit. That day has passed and dicrc is just as much business on the tables now as there was then, and so (here would be if they remained here till die fourth of July, Thou the 2t)th next Monday was talked of, and finally the 7lh of March, a day then more lhan three weeks distant, was fixed upon, but the cunning leaders have managed to put the rcsolutiou out to nurse, and now wo have no doulrt (hat when it is reported bark, it will Iw amended so as lo adjourn on the 14th or 21 it of March, and perhaps even later. Il is thus Uiat these Icrrihlo " reformers " are paltering with tho wishes of tho people, and betraying the confluence which they have so unworthily acquired. THE CONVENTION. The Statesman says that 805 persons joined die procession on Tuesday, We understand this calculation hi made by a manlier of the Board of Public Works, whose anuous countenance we saw peering among die crowd, wearing a mixed expression of wonder and anxiety. Wo venture lo observe thai ii is as nearly accurate as some of bis estimates iihji the canals, whrih have cost die Slate two or three limes as much as they were put down at originally. He has become badly habituated lo under estimates. THE STATE'S PRISON MONOPOLY AND THE TAItlFF. We are glad lo see our Mechanics employing their influence lo stimulate die Legislature to some elVicicnt reform in Htute Prison matters. The Monopolies established in the Penitentiary, owe dicir origin and continuance chiefly to the Loco Focos, and it is but simple justice that the parly should bo compelled to undo what they have so unwicly done. We irusl, therefore, thai our Mechanics will not rest satisfied until ihey have succeeded in ac coniphDhing their objects. But desirable as is amendment and reform in this rcipcct, we hope all classes will Iki able to appreciate tho injurious consequences of a far more extended and powerful system of (Kihry which paralyzes the industry and retards the prosperity of the country, and which must continue lo do so, though the Penitentiary monopoly were ten limes removed we menu the mmutpohj and competition of Fo reten labor and cnpitttl. Every argument and reason thai can be urged against tho employment of Htnte Prison lubor, applies widi rquul justice against the patronage of llw laW of foreign States. The principle is precisely the same. If it bo not good policy lo destroy our Mechanics by building up the Slate Prison monopoly, il certainly can be no better lo go out of the country alter any thing thai can be produced within il. Wc shall find few ililTenng from us on this point. I he Htnle Prison con tractor will contend that lie can furnish his wares thmjyr In than they can be made outside tho prison walls. The im- fting merchant will tell us the same story. The contractor and the importer will grow rich as long as ilii-y can make us believe iu their doctrine, whilst the mechanic anil native artisan ill feci themselves more and more impoverished, This view of an important question is of such ensy and fa miliar illustration, that its weight cannot be denied. Lot us get rid of budi evils al die same time. CONFUSION OF IDEAS. Moral obliquity, or the tola! ileslilulion of principle, produ ces lliut mental disorder, or affection of ihe brain, known by die appellation of " confusion of ideas," lo a Iniucninblc de gree in the mind of the editor of die Statesman. Hpcaking of Iho passage of the bill through the House, lo rcjicul the rharler of die Columbus and tiunduky Turnpike Company, the Hlnleitman asks: "Iul not the people along this road, without distinction of party, petition for its repeal T Is die Journal opposed to the sacred right of petition ( " This is a genuine Kangaroo leap. Tito H talesman has suddenly bo-come a convert lo the right of petition, and like most new converts, goes far beyond the standard set up by iho original founders of die seel. Thu right of petition, in his judgment, seems to involve die obligation lo grant what is a-du-d for. Suppose a petition should be got up, praying the Leginlalure pull uowu pii.hovseor consign mm 10 wo rcnuennary, should die Legislature grant il f Bui says Ihe Statesman : " It is a pretty doctrine In preach a free and intullignrt people 1hwt Incir representative can make bud and oppressive laws and cannot n)cal tliem." (itinera! laws may be repealed at llie pleasure of the law-making power. Bui when the Legislature makes a bargain, or contract, it must be bound by it. The Legiilalure agreed with ihire-holders of the Columbus and Handiuky lurnpike Coniany thai if diey would coiisimrt and keep in good re pair, a road from one place to die other, they should enjoy die ght of collecting certain rales of lolls from all who chose to travel upon it. If the LcgMuturc has made a bad bargain. there U but one mode of getting rid of its obligations, and dial would lc to prevail upon the oilier contracting party to surrender their privileges. If it lie alleged thai die corporators to uot fulfil the condition!) mto which they ontcrcd, the law points out die remrdyilo your bill of quo warranto, and bring die matter to a test. If you establish the Incl, then die court will adjuilge (hat ihey have Justly forfeited their nchts, and there will be none lo romplain. But for the IjCgiilnture lo inveigle a few public spirited individuals into the undertak ing of an improvement of this character, and nher ihey have ipeiided 5li0,000 upon it, to atimd the contract ami strip them of the property thus acquired we say it is au act of gross injustice and usurpation in itself, awl one that would in grace the bond-repudiating titato of Mississippi, Bui il is a waste of lime to argue so plain a principle with man who is incapable of conceiving or eipreuing a clear ilea on tny subject. The muddy stream which oozes front his distorted and feculent brain is an inherent vice, bard to be enuured and worse lo bo cured. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. Father Ritchie advocates the proposition toeilend to the Hanks of Virginia, a longer period of mm moitthi, in which to prrpare fur resumption. In I Hiio, just twice nine dutfi was the utmost respite the same oliticians could he persuaded lo grant ihcse institutions. In Virginia some regard is hud to the ronscquences of ihe measure Uon the business of Ihe com munityhere not even the business of the community is per muted to stand in the wny of the destruction of the Banks, ut both are lo be siiuck ikmn by Die same blow. DISUNION. A leading tnrmher of the present Loco Foco party, and oiM who in the House of Representatives participated in the scheme of trying Mr. Adams as a traitor lo the Uniim, ei-pressed the following language at a Slate Convention in iho Kntlm of South Carollua, m IU3J. lite speaker was Mr, Rhrtt. "Once, indeed, my pulso beat high for Uiis Union.

" Botphobia " is now the prevailing malady in our city, and our clerks and milliners sudor under a very malignant type of it It broke out immediately ancr the landing of the Literary Lion al Boston, and raged moderately but progressively as accounts reached us of his feasting and speech-making at Boston, Hariford and New Haven. Al length the enchuoler reached oar city last Saturday, and then it assumed a more virulent character, raging, and rising up to 8 o'clock last evening, when it was at its crisis. Il was the opening hour of die great " Box Ball." Tho Kelo of the Fashionables was developing itself. The Park Theatre was the chosen temple of this homage tickets only JA cheap as dirt, you see but then die great demand for them had tempted themaimgers-behind-ilie-manogers lo increase the issue, as the price rose to $ 10, and evea $00, so that at 9 o'clock, when Box entered, instead of the stipulated number of 2,200, there were full 4,000 persons in the house I II was full lnve and bo-low, from pit to gallery, and dancing was virtually out of the question. The marshals I mean managers by grcal exertion made room to crowd thu Lion into die middle of the floor, where Phil. Hone made a trashy ieech, concluding with a cull for three chtertt Think of Uiat al a Ball, where the Beauty, Fashion and Intellect of New York were supposed to be convened t I am happy lo say that but very few obeyed the edict. Mayor Morris, Cot. O. P. Morris of the Mirror, who generally contrives to opernte as wet nurse to all the Foreign Literati who favor us with dieir presence, and C. D. Cnldvn, were die masters of ceremonies, but the rush prevented nearly all dancing, and every thing else but squeezing, I .allies had ibeir bouquets, decorations, and ta bracelets, stripped from diera like leaves in an October tempest. A space was for a lime cleared for dancing about the size of a small pigpen, and cotillions and wnltzes were pcrformrd, but lo littlu purpose. At 10 o'clock the supper room was thrown open-and instantly packed lo its utmost capacity by thoe who were wailing at die door, leaving the press in Iho Suborn as great ns ever. The supvr would have been good had there been any chance to eat it ; as it was, there was a profusion of choice eatables, but no way lo get at them, and slewed oysters, Charlotte Kusse, anil lemonade, were spilled over span-new coats and costly female dresses in generous impartiality. Tho cost of tickets for this Ball must have reached g 10,000, of which at least half went into somebody's pockets, but die dresses spoiled were worth twice as much, and that loss has done no good lo any one, I hoc the tailors and milliners have received some indirect benefit, however. " Boi " complained of being faint and sick no wonder in surh an atmosphere and went home before midnight. His manner is severely criticised by some I presume unjustly.

Previous to Uie election, Ohio Stocks were worth over ninety cents for oach dollar issued. Whence Uiis mortify ing depreciation of Uie credit of Uie State? The lecline is equal to 25 per cent, upon a debt say of 16,000,000 of dollars from which may be deduced a sacrifice of FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! This disastrous blow to Uio credit of Uie Stato, is to bo traced entirely to the return of a majority of Loco Foco destructives to Uie two branches of the General Assembly. But Uiis loss of credit abroad is only single item in Uie catalogue of evil consequences which Uie people of Ohio have incurred by restoring1 ic Bourbons to power. Lvery interest at home has suffered in an equal proportion. Two millions and a half of currency havo been depreciated one half in value in the hands of Uio poo pi o over nve millions of dollars vested by Uie people of other States in Uie banking institutions of tins State, are to be driven out of it exchange in New York is 17 per cent against us Uio last million of the three or four mil- ona of specie held in the State two or throe years Hinco, is to be carried off on tho 4th of March our public works, which have cost sixteen or seventeen millions are incomplete, hecause we have sacrificed our credit, and1 nobody will trust us a million or two nioro to finish Uiem bank after bank is crumbling into dust and ruin, distress, bankruptcy and dig-graco stare us in the faco on every side. This ii a true picture of Uie present condition of I Uie State, and would lose in vividness by any attempt at embellishment What has produced it? The election of a Loco Foco Legislature there-ascendency of Loco Foco councils the defeat of Uio Whig party, and the measures to which that party is pledged. Some portion of Uie fault lies at Washington, and Uie prosperity of tho country cannot bo fully revived, without a radical change tiiere. But reform must begin at home, and much may be done here to ward off Uio consequences of mis-govern- ment elsewhere. The pooplo must givo up all idea of bettor times, until tlicy will learn sometiiing from the lessons of the pant, and can make up their minds to wiUidraw Uieir confidence wholly from Uio quack financiers and pretenders of Uio lxco Foco party. Severely have Uie people of Uiis State been punish ed for sending such men to Uio Legislature as Ity- ington, McNulty, Jenkins, Taylor &. Co. men, (mere shadows of men!) totally destituto of any qtmhhci tions whatever for tho places they hold, and wanting even in the negativo projierty of being disposed to follow tho good advice and suggestions of otiicrs, whmo abilities and oxerience ought to command their implicit respect But theso men, without character, without a stake in the country, without hones ty, without the inclination to shape their course witii reference to Uie public good, are sent up here to control Uie legislation for Uio interests of a million and a half of people. Tlicro is no law of our physical natures that can bo violated with impunity, and Uio siuio rule holds with equal force in moral?. If i we thrust a hand or foot into the fire, pain and disa bility aro the inevitable consequences. If wo open our veins, the lifn-currcnt flows out apace. If we bow tares, no yellow harvest fills our granaries. If Uie people confide in mdiculs, jacobins and incendi aries to do their legislation, they must not expect to have it dmio wisely or well. If they continuo to pension a corrupt press upon the public treasury at Uie rate of twenty Uiousund dollars a year, to dis seminate false doctrine throughout the land, they must calculate to pay an additional forfeit of millions in Uie depreciation of Uio prices of products and property. If Uiey persist in carry ing on an insane war against their own banking institutions and cur- rrncy, Uiey need not be disappointed if tiie Aral are cruhed and Uie other is destroyed. There is noUiing to wonder at in Uie depreciation of Uie credit of Uie State. We need not be surprised, that a State with a tax list of more than three hundred millions of dollars, is unable to obtain means sufficient to complete a canal, which would open a new navigation of Uirce or four hundred miles, and return an ample interest for Uie whole cost, when if wo had Uie funds, tho whole work might be finished in six months. We ought not to bo alarmed by Uio failures of banks and the general distress which pervades Uio community. All this was foreseen and foretold, if Uie people should again put Uieir trust in Ijoco Focoism, The evils which we labor under are Uie legitimate fruits of Uiat misplaced confidence, and unless a permanent change can be effected, Uiey will be penictuated. 1 he reforms now necessary cannot bo perfected in one year. The disorders which havo prostrated the vigor of tiie system, cannot bo eradicated by Uie ascendency of the Whig party at a single election. We have got to lay a new foundation, and build carefully upon it, without changing cither overseers or workmen. These aro trutiis so plain, Uiat he who runs may read. We have Uio satisfaction to bctiovo Uiat they are gradually impressing Uiemselvea upon the public mi ml The delusions which havo bo long beclouded and befogged Uie people, are yielding to the trots of experience. Wo hear of many persons in different parts of Uio State, who confess themselves convinced Uiat in supporting Ijoco Foco candidates and measures, they have only been plunging Uie State into deeper embarrassment. They havo resolved to go upon tho other track. Tho one thoy havo pursued so Ion;;, has only led to ruin. MK'HHiAN.

Mr. Cushing, from Uie select committee in tiie House of Representatives, who have had in charge Uie President's plan of an Exchequer or Government Bonk, have submitted a report accompanied by a bill on the subject The report and bill ore too long to be copied into our paper, in the present crowded state of our columns, and we aro compelled to content ourselves witii an insertion of the following abstract of their recommendations and provisions, taken from Uie Baltimore American. Two or more additional reports and schemes are promised from otiier members of Uie committee. MR. CUSIIING'S EXCHEQUER BILL. The Bill reuortcd bv Mr. Cushinr from Uie Select Committeo on Uie Currency in the House of Representatives will be found in another part of Uiis mornings paper. It differs in some points from Uie Bill submitted by tho Secretary of Uio Treasury at Ute beginning of Uie Session. instead of issuing Treasury Notes to public cre ditors, as recommended by the Secretary's Bill, to an amount not exceeding fifteen millions, Uie Committee's Bill proposes Uie issuing of certificates of dtpo- site. We have here different names only for the same thing. The amount, however, is limited to ten millions by Uie new bill, and it further declares tuii the Board and each of its seveiid agencies shall at all times so limit the amount of ccrtiftatles thus issued tlutt its fcotd and silver on hand shall be equal to Ute amount thereof outstanding. i he tilth section, providing tor Uie issue ot certificates of deposito for specie deposited by individu als, is the same in substance as Uie fifth section of tiie ircasury Bill with Uie exception Uiat it limits the amount of such issues to ten millions instead cf fifteen, and it says nothing about a premium of one naif ot ono per cent to be inm by uie depositor. Thorn is nothing in Uie first bill authorising Uie Mint and branch Mints to issue certificates of depo sito for bullion or foreign coin deposited by individuals or by the Government Tho seventh section au- Uiorizes Uiis. The ninth section of the present bill, authorizing Uie drawing of hills or draft, is the same, word for word, as tho tenth section of the original bill excepting Uio additional proviso in the section, which is of no consequence as it merely stipulates a tiling of course. The tenth section of Mr. CusmNo'sbill authorizes Uio Board and its agent to purchase bills of exchange only when ordered so to do by tiie Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of traiumiittiiig tiie public funds of tiie Government to pay its creditors or for public use. The authority is prohibited for any other purpose. This is di lie rent from the provisions of the first bill in Uiis particular; and it is one of the most important points of difference between tho two. As to Uie modes of getting Uie Exchequer paper into circulation, Uie two projects aro essentially alike. These modes are first, by the issue of Treasury notes, as tiicj are called in one bill, or certificates of deceit, as they are styled in the other, to be paid to public creditors; secondly, by tho sole of bills or drafts as authorized in the ninth section of Mr. CusHi.io'a bill; thirdly, by the issue of certificates of deposito to individuals for specio deposited. Wherein, Uicn, are tho points in which the new bill differs from Uie other? There aro two of essential moment Tho proviso declaring that Uio issues to public creditors shall not go beyond Uio gold and silver in hand virtually reduces tho Exchequer system to a Sub-Treasury. Tho essential idea of Uie lutter is here distinctly recognized. The clause in Uio eleventh section which directs that Uie notes of the banks received in payment of dues to Uio United States "shall be immediately convertible into specie at the place where received," poinls significantly the same way. The limitation of the power of purchasing bills of exchange, as specified in the tenth section, tends still further to bring tiie Exchequer into tiie shape and likeness of Uio Sub-Treasury. The aid to be afforded for Uie equalization of exchanges is to he incidental and to extend no farther than Uie sphere of tho government's fiscal ojverations. Tho truth is that Mr. Cvsinrfu's bill, in every particular wherein it varies from Uie original scheme as submitted from the Treasury Department, inclines towards Uie Sub-Treasury aj stem. Thus, at least, it appears to us from Uie limited examination we have been able to give it Yet it wants Uie unity of that system; for it is mongrel enough to admit a section declaring Umt no agency established in any State under tiie provisions of Uio act shall, contrary to any law which such Suite may enact receive any other deiwsites Uian those of tiie United Stab, or make or sell drafts, or purchase bills other Uian such ns shall be necessary in Uie collection, transfer, and disbursement of tho public funds. The Report accompanying the Bill is written with ability but it is too long fur publication to-day. 1 It recapitulates the chief incidents in Uio financial history of Uio United State, and refers to tho circumstances under which tho National Bank and a Sub-Trensurv, at different periods came into existence. The rixchequcr is designed to be a system uniting tiie advantages and excluding Uio evils of Doin precedent systems. The clause in tiie Constitution forbidding the States to issue bills of credit and Uio practice of Uie States in chartering institutions which do issue bills of credit in the shape of bank notes Uio constitutional prohibition against tiio coining of money by tiie States or individuals, and Uio practico by Uie States and by individuals of uttering Uiat which takes Uie place of money and circulates as money tiicso w ith other things going tn Uie bottom of Uie subject are touched umii in Uie Report and it can not be denied, that Uiey are treated with ability. We shall refer to these matters again. For IJm Ohio Hints Jiiurnal.

By Eleazar Parhlt. s - A very distino-uished practitioner of the city of New York, and a gentleman whose sagacity and In tegrity are bo well established in Uiis community as to place Uiem above suspicion, called upon me in June last with two ladies one a married lady of Uiis city, ot uie nighesr respectability, whom l nave , known for many yearn, the other a young lady in delicate health, who appeared to be suffering very aovere- ivwiui wiui pain in one oi ncrieein. un examining tiie tooth I fuund the only means of giving her relief was extraction. On hearing Uiis Uie young lady de clared that she could not enduro Uie operation. Being very much occupied in another room I left Uie Doctor with the ladies, conversing together in relation to the propriety of submitting to Uie operation of extracting Uie tooth, considering Uie state of her health, ho having remarked to them that if she (tho young lady) would sutler herself to be put into tiie Magnetic sleep Uie tootli might be removed without luin. After an absence from Uie room of about fifteen minutes, I returned at Uie Doctor's request, and found his patient to all appear a nco in a profound sluinbert which ho called Uie Magnetic sleep. He then requested me to proceed to tiie extracUon of the tooth, which was Uie first molar on Uie left Bide ot Uie lower jaw. As tiie young lady was sitting erect in Uie operation chair, and therefore as her head was not reclining upon the chair, as was desirable in order to perform tiie operation conveniently, 1 made an effort to place it there by pressing my hand against her forehead, but when I removed my hand she seemed unconsciously to resume her former position. The I lector thereupon said to me "You can do nothing with her without my intervention whilo she is in this state, but w hatever you desire her to do if you will inform me, I will direct her accordingly." I remarked Unit all I wished her to do wbs to lay ' her head back upon Uie cushion ofthc chair and open her moutli, which she immediately did by his diiec-tion. I thereupon extracted the tooth which required as much force as such teeth usually do, it being per fectly firm in its socket with slightly curved fangi rendering it an operation unavoidably painful to & person awake. During tiie operation I could discover no change in her features or expression of her face, nor any motion either voluntary or involuntary in any part of hor frame indicative of pain. Although I addressed several questions to her while in Uiis sleep I could obtain no answer from ht r until Uie Doctor put mc in communication wiUi hft. to ue his own terms. She then conversed freely i nd intelligently with me for several minutes, and stated. among othei things, on my inquiring of her, "Uiat she had not felt the slightest pain, and knew thatsho had lost a tooth only by finding a vacancy in her mouth." After being in this state of somnolency for about an hour the Doctor awoke her, whereupon she seemed to be very much refreshed; and when I again asked her if she had any recollection of pain during her sleep, she replied that she had not. 1 uicn asked her what she did recollect concerning her tooth; to which she replied "that she remembered only that I had remarked when she enme into the room that I could neither stop Uie tooth nor destroy the nerve, but that it must be extracted." Then she reiterated MUiat she only knew that she had Inat Uie tooth by finding the vacancy." 1 make this statement of facts, which occurred just as I have related them; and without knowing any thing oi uie science oi Mesmerism, or ot Uie manipulations by which this crisis is produced. I am persuaded tiiere was no trickery or imposition in Uie case in question, not merely from Uie respectability of tiie parties interested and Uie high standing and veracity ol Uie physician, but from uie unequivocal circumstances attending the transaction. Since writing Uie above statement 1 have within Uie last few days performed Uie operation again, in tho presence of several individuals, with precisely Uie same results, continuing and establishing in my own mind in Uie most positive manner the truth and power ot the extraordinary and wondenul influence of Animal Magnetism.

New York, Feb. 11th, m Mesmerism, It appears, is likely to be extremely serviceable to dentists, if not to other operators on tht human frame, Mr. Uardiner ot Roche lourt, Hants, has addressed a letter to Uie Hampshire Standard, in which he states, that "having been interrupted in Uie course of certain Mesmeric experimentally a violent toothache in ono of Uie patients, (whom I had exhibited to Drs, EUiotson and Engledue) it occurred to me that the insensibility which is an invariably concomitant of tiie true sleep-walking state would alturu mo an aomiraoie opportunity oi benefitting tiie sufferer, and of extending Uie application of Mesmerism. My friend Dr. Engledue obtained Uie assistance of Mr. Martin, a gentleman who knew little and believed less about Mesmerism, and who decidedly questioned Uie practicability of the prnprsYm! operation. He came. In two minutes, tiio patient (a young lady) was in Uie perfect Mesmeric trance, and thrrelore insensible. Air. Martin seized Uie tooth (a molar or jaw tooth) with the forceps purposely prolonging the wrench (as agreed upon with Dr. Englo- ilue, prior to his visit, in order to teat thoroughly the insensibility of tiie patient) and drew forth the tooth.
